Indeed. For example: there are two popes per square kilometer in Vatican.

Conversation between Google and NSA
by elrous0 (869638)

NSA: We need complete access to your gmail system.

Google: Alright! This is to help us with the recent China break-in, right?

NSA: Um, sure...

joint-venture
by muckracer (1204794)

As part of the agreement a new slogan to be used jointly by both Google and the NSA has been implemented:

"No Such Evil"...

Economy - anything else is a waste
by Anonymous Coward

4. This is often overlooked, but quite necessary given the situation. Get stoned out of your mind just before walking into the airport. Best best is to eat brownies an hour before you have to be there (lasts longer and more intense). Use eyedrops to avoid suspicion. There is something strangely satisfying about standing in the cattle chute listening to some buffoon yell to hurry up, nodding "yes sir" with huge grin on your face, blasted out of your mind. Talk about first class.

Re:GUI applications
by MightyMartian (840721)

What makes PHP nice is that it is so close to C. For people who are comfortable working in C, PHP is just a few dollar signs away.

Which is like saying an anus is almost like a vagina...

Feel free to take that analogy the distance.

Verizon's ad campaign featuring an army of tower workers following customers around was hyperbolic. Sorry if you got confused.

The joke's on you pal. All those cell towers use Yagi dipole antennae. They are neither parabolic not hyperbolic.

That is the job of the web server to assign a default document whether its index.html, default.htm, index.php, or yourmama.html

I sent a request for yourmama.html last night, and it was 200 OK.

by Bogtha (906264)

I can't reproduce that. I keep getting 413 Request Entity Too Large instead.

Re:Dear FSF

You're absolutely right. It's such a shame that no one has yet determined a way to break the locks that bind the iPhone and the iPod Touch to the App Store. You could even say these devices are imprisoned, jailed. If only some intrepid group of hackers could find a way to break these devices out of jail, allowing those that wish it a way to modify their devices or install "unauthorized" applications onto them. If only there were some way to get the word out, and allow those that wish to make use of this mythical hack to find it. Perhaps some day such technology will exist.

Misleading title

Google Toolbar Tracks Your Browsing, Even When Off

At first I thought that this meant that Google was tracking my movements even when my computer was off. I wondered how they'd do this and then I remembered about Google Street View.

Sly bastards.

Re:Cheating
by PopeRatzo (965947)

To reduce accidents, it would probably be more effective to reduce engine performance to a minimum whenever a male driver under the age of 30 is detected.

The best accident reduction approach would be to temporarily incapacitate anyone who touches a smart phone while driving. And then give them a taser-like shock, knock them out and tattoo "douchebag" on their forehead.

    Re:Cheating
    by nedlohs (1335013)

    Yes because zapping the driver into unconsciousness while he is driving at 65mph on the highway will reduce accidents.

Re:Cheating

Vehicle manufactures should come equipped with GPS based governors, alcohol detection, sex detection

Just for the record, are we talking:
a) I'm detecting you're receiving a blowjob while driving, so I'm just going to pull over for a bit
b) I'm detecting you're a woman, so I'm limiting top speed to 50(kph, not mph) or simply not starting at all

Besides, this is /., neither will happen all that often anyway...

Re:BFD
by Anonymous Coward

I bet the Chinese Government are buying those shares (and the voting rights attached to them) as fast as they can. People said Larry and Sergei were crazy pissing them off but maybe it's all part of the plan.

That's just paranoia! This is what is really happening...

As they sell their shares, other mutual funds and pension funds will buy the stock as "investments" - those mutual funds and pensions won't be really well known. It'll be something like the Virginia Government Employee Retirement Fund or what have you. Now, those funds would be managed by a company that's called, the Center Investing Authority - let's say. Now that company is actually a shell company based in the Cayman Islands. Their agents in the Caymans would be Guido Catelloni, Fettuccine Alfredo and Jose Paco Horowitz. Of course, it's really a ruse. Since the true owners are in Iceland. So, you have Igottafatdottir as being the power behind the Cayman name, Now, you'd think that that money was stolen from the current Icelandic financial crisis. Nope! the money actually came from Italy. You see the Cayman Island guys are actually the real guys BUT they're Jesuit priests! That's right! The Catholic Church is buying up Google and pinning it on the Chinese. Why is the Catholics buying Google? Why to launder all that treasure from the Crusades!

See, you're theory is just too far fetched, as for mine, well, there's a couple of millennia of history to back it up.

Shutdown IS the fix
by syousef (465911)

It will force shutdown even if you don't check the box at the end of the installer. How can this be so wrong at so many levels.

You don't get it. Shutting down your computer IS the security fix. If you start it up again, you're back where you started - with Windows and IE.
